Sturgeon Ventures is celebrating 18 years of great working relationships.  Turning 18 usually signifies being given a key/change to life.  With this in mind we are hoping that with this fundraising event we will also be in a position to give a key to one little chap to change his life forever.

Samuel is the son of Becky, one of our consultants at Sturgeon.  Samuel is 7 and was born with Cerebral Palsy.  The muscles in his legs are tight and will continue to get tighter as he grows reducing his mobility.  Apart from that he is a happy little boy who loves cars and football.

Great Ormond Street Hospital have advised that  alternative physiotherapy techniques and an operation called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy “SDR” would be life changing for him and enable him to live a normal functional and independent life.  But this is currently not available to him on the NHS. The cost of the operation and follow up physio is around £50,000, if we are lucky to raise anything higher than that that, then any money surplus to what Samuel needs will go to The Caudwell Children’s Charity, who will in turn help other children achieve their dreams.
